Audits performed under the Single Audit Act are the federal government’s first line of defense against fraud, mismanagement and abuse in federally assisted programs. Well, that important role has been ramped up this year because of the wide distribution of massive funding under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
The annual federal fund expenditures of recipients and subrecipients have reached unprecedented levels. Further, many thousands have become subject to the single audit requirement for the first time.
As today’s single audits are being used for assurance of grant accountability and award decisionmaking, now is the critical time for grant recipients and subrecipients to understand the current federal fund accountability atmosphere. That’s where this webinar will help you. We’ll provide you with the information you need about the Single Audit Act and its implementing regulations, as well as recent developments affecting grant administration and audit standards and guidance.
The webinar will cover:
- Federal policies for procurement of audit services
- Office of Management and Budget (OMB) authority on expenditure dollar threshold, audit scope and report submission policies
- Changes to auditing standards affecting grant recipients and subrecipients
- Using OMB’s 2021 Compliance Supplement and its Addenda for audit readiness
- Important plans for OMB’s 2022 Supplement
- Verifying single audit compliance by subrecipients
